RTNN News Desk: BNP leader Aslam Chowdhury has disclosed the names of the people who had sent him to meet Israeli politician Mendi N Safadi, said chief of Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crimes Unit Monirul Islam.

Monirul Islam made the statement at a press briefing held at DMP Media Centre in Dhaka on Thursday afternoon.

He said: “Aslam gave us some names of the people who had sent him for the meeting. He has confessed that he has a connection with Safadi.

“We are assuming that there is a link between the attacks on minorities and the claims made by IS with the meeting .”

BNP Joint Secretary General Aslam was arrested in Dhaka on May 15 for allegedly conspiring with Israeli spy agency Mossad against the country.

He was sued for sedition on May 26. Police chief AKM Shahidul Haque claimed Aslam had confessed to meeting Mossad agent and Likud Party leader Mendi N Safadi several times to conspire to topple the government.

Safadi also heads the International Diplomacy and Public Relations which has good ties with Mossad.
